SHORT REPLY (9) finished second two runs back at Kyneton then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 7f122yards at Geelong. John Allen scored on her last time and retains the mount. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ELVIS (5) had been rock-solid with two placings in a row before finishing ninth over 1m at Cranbourne last start. Logan Mcneil stays aboard. Should be hard to stop. BENEFITSOFMINE (3) finished second last time over 7f90yards at Kyneton, beaten 0. 8 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. BATTLE OF THE ICE (1) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when returning after a lay-off last start over 6½f at Geelong. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
